Introduction

Living life on a budget has become for so many people the norm, purse strings are constantly being tightened, and very often each purchase must be thought about very carefully.

I am a married mother of one, whose husband is disabled following a stroke a very young age. It therefore fell to me at the drop of a hat to be able to provide for my family, with my income effectively sliced in half.
